A&P Repeat color correction

I have been bouncing my SB600 off the ceiling for a more even light. Many of my photos are of my children. The ceilings in my home are a peach color and it gives the photos an odd shade

Once I figure out the correction in PS, is there a way to save it so I can apply the same correction to all photos bounced off the peach ceiling? Would it be better to dial in the correction on the camera (D80) before I take the photo?

Here are some other photos bounced off a white ceiling and that's when I noticed the difference.

you could pre white balance for the "optimal" answer, but this means that everytime your conditions change you'd have to change your WB. How easy is that when shooting kids in a home and constantly moving? not really.

the other option, since you mentioned photoshop, is top select all the photos you want to edit in Bridge, open them to Raw. Do any adjustments to your initial image ie white balance, exposure, saturation etc, and then select all the photos and hit synchronize. This will then apply all those same settings to every photo you selected.

That's why I asked about pre-WB. It's the same shade in the first three rooms in my house. Would the WB be the same adjustment as long as it's the same color ceiling?

Ditch the photoshop and go lightroom. Once you make your settings "perfect" for one of the pictures in that orange ceiling room, you can copy that setting across as many pictures as you want (you may still need to make some minute tweaks here and there afterward).

I guess this is turning into a PS tutorial. Here is the corrected shot

My adjustments thus far have been to select Levels and then click on something white, black or gray. For this photo I chose the gray on the TV in the background. Where can I find a slider that will make a similar adjustment in increments?
